• Category "A" 90% or more achievement- 3
• Category "B" Percentage achievement above national average- 2
• Category "C" Percentage achievement below national average- 1
• Category "D" Nil performance- 0

For the ranking of the States, the all-India percentage achievement is taken as the national average.
On the basis of the total marks scored by each State, a ranking table is prepared each month and is presented in the Monthly Progress Report ( MPR ).
